Another fascinating one has been added to the list— Lost Man’s Lane This is a detective story. It is full of mystery and excite ment.

JUST ONE WEEK. The “Glorious Fourth” is Near at Hand and Everything Is In Readiness. Only one week, seven short days, and then the day we celebrate. The programme is nearly complete, en tries for the various events continue to arrive and the lists give promise of being full. The trades’ display will undoubt edly be very interesting, as it will embrace nearly every business and profession in Gaffney. The entries of Mr. J. F. Fincken and that of Parker & Tolleson were received yesterday. Baseball is booming. The team is getting plenty of practice, so the cranks may go prepared to root, for the boys will give a good account of themselves. Every town within a radius of thirty miles has put itself by its intention of send ng a goodly part of its popu lation to swell our celebration crowd. Indications point to the estimate of from ten to twelve thousand being not only realized, but surpassed. The race track is in better shape than ever before and with the num ber of good riders that have entered, local records will doubtless be smashed. “Ed” Durham says they ‘have to fly” in the three mile race if they expect to ‘‘see the money.” Get your decorations ready. Put some flags and bunting on the fronts of the buildings. Don’t bottle your enthusiasm up, give it free rein and let us give our visitors a royal wel come. Gaffney is a live place and full of hustlers. This is the chance of our lives to impress this fact ou thousands of good people. Bee the official program in next Tuesday’s Ledger, including the route of the parade, officers, celebra tion notes and etc. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. When you come to the city on the 4th, subscribe to The Ledger. Prof. J. C. Olinkscales passed through the city Wednesday on his way to Blacksburg, where be went to attend a meeting of the Rock Hill district conference. There will be an ice cream supper on the lawn near Mr. Cuttings house next Saturday evening. The proceeds will go to paying for seats in Lime stone Street Methodist church. Those in charge hope to see many of their friends present. As the pastor will be at the district conference on the third Sunday in July, there will be no praching at Gethsemane on that day. Instead, there will be preaching there next Sunday, 2!Uh inst., at 11:00 a. rn. The mayor’s court has been doing a small business since Monday, and obstreperous VV’ess Martin has quieted down and is now spending some of his surplus strength in the city. Wess fits the garb of a compulsory street worker to a “T.” J. D. Pride showed us the first home raised white head cabbage Wednesday. He looked a littl# self congratulatory, indeed one could see ‘•pride,” but he finally owned up that the cabbage was the result of Mrs. Pride’s good gardening. W. O. Lipscomb, one of Gaffney’s most enterprising business men, left the city some days ago with a force of hands to begin work on a grading con tract be has on a new railroad in East Tennessee. Mr. Lipscomb has been quite successful on railroad work, and bis known energy assures it again. We learn that two drunken stran gers passed through Thickety Wed nesday and were so discourteous to some of the ladies that Mr. Jesse Pinson and his sons took charge of them, when Mr. S. C. Case arrived on the scene, and he and Mr. Pinson got in some deserved and well placed licks on the intruders who soon moved on. Interposition of cool heads pre vented what bid fair to result in se rious trouble. Free St'hulHmlilpii.

It is easy to find if you will take the trou ble to observe, to investigate. Evi dence of a nature convincing. Evi dence too strong to be broken down by argument of any kind. There is no point of attack save misrepresen- tadon. We claim that you can best afford to use “Clifton.” It is un questionable of superior quality. It is milled on correct principles. It is pure, white and nutritious. It is used by successful and representative housekeepers in both this country and Europe. All this is proven by the evidence at your command. We have not only millers of experience, but millers of undisputed ability. Over fifteen years devotion to this one specialty, exclusively, has made us proficient. Branskord Mills, Owensboro, Ky. Why?
